1. Lucky Penny

Drop in at the Lucky Penny at the Palms hotel for yummy food around the clock. Kids will be delighted to learn that something called a breakfast pizza even exists, and maybe you can even convince them to try the pizza salad. While they chow down on chicken fingers, burgers, and grilled cheese cooked on waffles, you can enjoy pesto salmon and grilled Brussels sprouts.

2. Mon Ami Gabi

Mon Ami Gabi is another one of those Vegas restaurants that keeps kids happy while serving up high-end choices for the parents who want something better than fast food. Here, your kids can enjoy the menu that’s filled with mazes and word search puzzles while munching on French bread pizza, steak and frites, or chicken fingers. Meanwhile, you can indulge in baked goat cheese, scallops gratinée, avocado toast, croque monsieurs, or quiche Lorraine. If you visit during the evening, ask for a seat near the window so you can watch the fountains at the Bellagio put on their show across the street.

3. Rollin’ Smoke Barbecue

Get off the strip to indulge in some of the best BBQ in Las Vegas at Rollin’ Smoke Barbecue. Kids’ meals feature burgers or ribs cooked St. Louis-style with sides like waffle-cut fries. When you want to head back to your vacation rental and chill together as a family, stop here to pick up party packs full of ribs, brisket, chicken, and pulled pork, and fill out your delicious meal with mac and cheese, corn nuggets, and bacon potato salad.

4. Bacchanal Buffet

If you’re headed to Vegas with your family, you definitely want to check out some of the town’s top buffets, and the Bacchanal at Caesar’s Palace is at the head of the list. The sumptuous displays of endless food include something to please everyone in your family, whether you prefer custom-made ramen, chicken and waffles, pork chops, prime rib, crab legs, or pizza. Because the choices can be overwhelming here, especially for little ones, take a stroll around the buffet to plan your meal before you start loading your plate – and leave room for the cheesecake pops, creme brulée, crepes, gelato, and more on the dessert tables.

5. Nacho Daddy

Think how excited your kids will be when you tell them you’re having nachos for dinner. At Nacho Daddy, you can try upscale re-imaginings of the classic nacho recipe, with lobster and crab, Thai chicken, and sloppy Joe nachos on the menu. If you’re not in the mood for crunch, check out the tacos, burritos, fajitas, and other Mexican standards, and save a little room for the deep-fried ice cream.

Yes, we know your kids only want cheese on their pizza, but there’s no reason you can’t have the works.

Choose from burgers featuring jalapeños, chutney, tabbouleh, figgy jam, or foie gras to give yourself a treat.

10. Buddy V’s

A trip to Las Vegas with kids definitely requires a visit to the Venetian, where they can marvel at the indoor gondolas and the gondoliers singing away.
